I´m in St.Anton right now. Snow conditions are pretty wak. So I skied the Rendl park today. It´s been a while!

Steve Stepp returns home to Ski Roundtop. With a vertical drop of 600ft it proves you don’t have to ride big resorts to achieve big things skiing! Shout out to Ski Roundtop for welcoming Steve home and allowing him to 450 disaster the DFD box on the way to a 1st place finish at the local rail jam. Also big shout to the all local riders for killing it and the park crew for providing a sick setup!

Everyone in the grocery store cue couldn’t figure out why I was laughing so hard. Hopefully snowboarding will be cool again one day! If we keep riding the lift together, maybe the mass marketers will have one less thing to talk about?

With snow continuing to fall in the PNW here’s a quick shot of us busting a trail to a waist deep stash!

lill´ somethin´ from Dez.07. muffin´ the pow!

Apart from Bibi having a degree in agriculture, modeling seems to be a great opportunity for her to mix the two phenomena “beauty” and “knowledge”.

Check your newest A.R.C. shred-kid. With only 4 months Tiffany Berr (not Teddy´s daugther) should be ready to mess with the park grommets all over the place.

Welcome the PNW where it’s been snowing for days on end… Averaging 1-2 ft per day!!! Here’s an early morning shot heading up the Meadows access road to get ours

… spinning themselves dizzy in this little flick:

Little romantic x-mas shot from this morning, Amplid Headquarter Neighborhood.

Shot of a shot of the new O’Neill catalogue showing A.R.C member Bibi Pekarek

How “babe” can you be when you throw yourself down the steep faces of the Verbier Extreme? Well, in Bibi’s case: Very babe. Hey guys, safe your postage money for love letters. Bibi is pretty much married with as guy twice a tall/wide/strong as you!!!

Check Cartel Gangster Dennis “DenjoE” Ehlert shredden Heise’s fresh grown Rainbowood. Thanks Peter for the snapshot!

Here is the story: Teamphotoshoot. Kickers shaped. Snowcat ready to go. But where is the photographer? While all the riders were waiting, Marco Toniolo took the chance to hook up with a whole bunch of ‘07 Playmates to shoot them instead. Marco - the A.R.C will forgive you …

Carrying his Cholesterones to the entrance of his favorite coloir at just over a foot of fresh powpow.

Peter and Anian with their buddy Tom, checking their early morning line. One foot fresh. Secret spot, Bavarian alps.

… and some don’t. Midnight wallride from Sam Strauss on a secret wall somewhere in Austria, showing how much one can prefer bulletproof concrete over fresh fluff.

Teddy, Anian and Dennis, filming while being filmed. This shot has been taken 3 days ago during the Amplid $alesforce Meeting. And it’s been dumping since… And what’s so special about this shot? Well, it shows Teddy and Dennis at work.

Sam Strauss jamming a nice long rail, in a hard concrete environment. Fiss / AUT. Yesterday afternoon.

Wow - another extreme item straight out of the extreme world. Released in 2005. The colours on the cover are quite up to date. Not the content though. Check this review from a not so happy customer:

“I started watching this and thought it was some kind of a wind up, but unfortunately it wasn’t. I could only watch about 10 minutes before I had to turn off (perhaps it get’s better but I doubt it). Judging by the ski kit the footage is 10 + years old. In places the quality is worse than my own ski holiday videos. And as for extreme - go to any major resort on a deep pow day and you are likely to see far better sking than this. I have never written a review before but feel others should be warned. If I could have selected zero stars I would have done.”

So tell your granny NOT to get you this flick for x-mas.

Ambush shredder Simon Günther was supposed to work on the kickers up at Salober Park, but he couldn’t resist to stall a little handplant just before lunch. The winter is here. As you can see.

Teamriders, secretaries, sex symbols and more: The A.R.C.’s own toreros Benny and Pako, minutes before their presentation of “How Snowboards and Skis should look in 2012″. Location: Amplid Annual $alesmeeting.

While Stefan checked whether his house key works with this car as well, it turned out to be Jon Olson’s Lambo, parked in front of Stefan’s hotel in Stockholm. However: Thumbs up big time for the camo style of this sled (including the roof box), but thumbs down on its consumption. When you make your money with white snow, make sure it stays that way… BTW: Stefan’s key did not work.

Wasti’s early season A-frame-check. Box supplied by Big B., snow supplied by Amplid.

The Going Big Guys have been working hard lately in order to get the park at Spitzing up and running. A special “THANKS DUDE” shout out goes to Heise (on the very left) - without his help his 12 friends (on the right) would probably not be able to lift that heavy son of a rail.

Never take your hand off your cojones! Girls dig it.

Trust him, trust 50 Cents, trust the A.R.C. Blog. At least on that topic.
